Moped

I should re-read the Foxfire series. I'd appreciate them more now than I did when I was a kid.

Not only can one ever have enough handguns, but one must have a snubbie in the collection as well.

I've not been reading good things about the 5.56 in Afghanistan. Seems like everyone wants a 7.62. My guess is your going to see SOCOM go to that caliber of weapon exclusively.

Suspenders man!

Don't forget that not only are you raising food for you and yours, but for the next harvest too. Might have to double the amount of garden space needed. Might not be forty acres, but I bet you'd need at least one acre in order to have food for a year and for the next planting, depending on how many is in your family. My mom and dad have done the raised beds. Works well.

I really like Cold Steel Machetes! I have a Kopis that is WICKED! They discontinued them a couple of years ago. Thought about picking up a couple of those Barongs though.

I can't remember what they call such seeds, but I think you don't want to run down to Mayo's and purchase just any old seed. Many of the seed producers now-a-days, produce hybrid seeds. You get one growing season out of them. The fruit doesn't produce seed for next year's crop. It may be called "Heirloom" or some such term. I think it's smart to stock up on seeds. Usually they don't cost much and take up very little space. Just remember that you also need the proper tools for gardening. A tractor or a draft animal, both of which have to be "fed" as well. If you go mechanical, then you will need gas, oil and spare parts. If you go animal, then you have to store much more food and water. A bugout bag is not going to be enough in a SHTF situation. Cities are not going to be the place to be if a situation goes on more than three days.

Checkering is expensive, but I sure would love to have it done to my Springfield.

Is it just me or does it just seem wrong that Smith & Wesson would make a .380 auto and call it a Bodyguard? I keep picturing the good old humpback J-Frame.

I really like the new look! Great job!!!

NICE!!!

Oh! Forget looking at all those other pistols! They are all wannabes. Go ahead. Look at the 1911. You know you want to! Cause you can soup it up! You know you want to go on the customizing kick! Go ahead and give in to the urge. It's easy really! The parts are abundant. People that work on them are plenty. A lot of the stuff you can do yourself! Just look at the satisfaction you can get out of customizing one. Go ahead!

Dude! If you don't go ahead and get the Python, your just WRONG!!! That's a no brainer right there!

Well... everyone has to die of something at some point in their life.

At the last Knoxville Show over at the Expo Center, they were selling 91/30s for $109 with all the accessories. That was on a Sunday.

Glock 17 Colt Agent .38

I'd rather go buy a missile silo. The Government has them for sale. Missile Base Properties for Sale

WOW! Awesome deal!!! Wish I'd come across something like that.

The news ones are much better looking. It's a good little rifle. The weakness is the Magazines. I paid $175 or so for mine. Then I dropped in a ATI stock. It looks a lot like a Storm. It's a fast handling little carbine too. Lester, you were talking about a Pistol/Carbine combination. The best one available in my opinion is the Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carbine and an M1 Carbine. Another good combination would be a revolver in .357 and a Marlin lever action in the same caliber. Or a Ruger Blackhawk and a Ruger carbine in .44mag. There are several combination's out there if you look.

GOOD FOR YOU!!! Those were made to be shot!!! Enjoy!

Excellent deal on their machetes too! I don't think you will find a better deal anywhere else!

Kel-Tec Sub2000 in 9mm. Some are made to accept Beretta Mags and some are made to accept Glock Mags. About half the cost of a Beretta and twice as much as a Hi-Point. They also have the added advantage of being able to fold up for easy storage/cancealiblilty. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=171006463 There are also some YouTube videos of them in action. You sometimes see them for sale in the classifieds here.

Oh I totally understand. I think the Beretta is a fine rifle! I'd love to have one, but I personally don't want to pay $800 for a pistol caliber carbine, that I'll probably only plink with. For something like that, the Hi-Point fits my needs perfectly. And your right about it not being very functional for a lefty, though mine does tend to push the empties forward instead of backward. I also wish Hi-Point would produce larger capacity mags or better yet come up with some system for using other manufactures mags like the Kel Tec 2000 does.

You might want to look at a Hi-Point 9mm Carbine. A whole lot less and probably just as accurate. Mine is a blast to shoot.

Not only does it look awesome, but it shoots awesome! Congratulations!!!
